The intensity and quality of scattered radiations incident on the eye during mantle-field therapy were measured for 4-MV x rays. Beam-shaping appliances were found to introduce considerable soft scatter. Eye shields reduce radiation exposure from the anterior field approximately threefold.

A case of Kaposi's sarcoma which presented as a warm type of immune hemolytic anemia is described. The malignancy was discovered at the time of splenectomy, which was required for control of the hemolytic anemia. Three other cases of immune hemolytic anemia in patients with Kaposi's sarcoma have been reported. An association between Kaposi's sarcoma and immune hemolytic anemia is suggested. Careful examination of the skin for Kaposi's sarcoma seems appropriate in cases of immune hemolytic anemia.
